This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: BUTTON Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/oEC.2ACE/564.1 Message Board Post: I looked at the Index to the 1870 Federal Census of Wisconsin today for BUTTON's. No John Button's listed but there were a number of Button's listed in the Jackson County townships of Irving and Melrose, southwest of Black River Falls. There was also a J. F. BUTTON in Trempealeau, Trempealeau Co WI...could this be 'your' John?? If you do not have access to census records for these places let me know, maybe I can help. Joan Benner jmbenner@tznet.com
